Vocational Education and Training
The Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship  has notified a non-statutory regulatory body, the National Council for Vocational Education and Training , through a Government Notification dated 05.12.2018. The NCVET will merge the functions of National Council for Vocational Training  and National Skill Development Agency  and will regulate the functioning of entities engaged in vocational education and training, both long-term and short-term, and establish minimum standards for the functioning of such entities.
The primary functions of NCVET will include – recognition and regulation of awarding bodies, assessment bodies and skill related information providers; approval of qualifications developed by awarding bodies and Sector Skill Councils ; indirect regulation of vocational training institutes through awarding bodies and assessment agencies; research and information dissemination; grievance redressal.
